LOEI, Feb 21 (TNA) – Soldiers have used motorcycles to patrol
Phu Kradueng National Park that was partly scorched by a bush fire five days
ago.
The bushfire erupted over the last weekend of Phu Kradueng,
the famous trekking and camping in the northeastern province of Loei. More than 200 firefighters and soldiers
controlled the blaze Monday morning after about 1,300 acres were damaged.
The National park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation
Department has provided motorcycles to the soldiers in an effort to monitor and
detect bushfire that could reignite.
The soldiers from Sri Song Rak army camp who have been
dispatched in the national park are using the motorcycles to patrol pine
forests at risk of fire.
Firefighters and volunteers had battled some small hotspots
on foot hill areas and were able to extinguish all of them on Tuesday.
